Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week - September 17th, 2009

Hi, I'm Officer Butch Slater, Crime Stoppers' Coordinator for Sangamon and Menard Counties.

This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information about an Armed Home Invasion and Aggravated Battery that occurred on Wednesday August 12th 2009 in the 200 block of Main St. in Mechanicsburg. An unknown white male 5ft6in to 5ft8in 160lbs wearing a black ski mask, black coat or sweat shirt, jeans, and black gloves with a goatee or mustache entered the residence and started yelling at the victims. One of the victims was beat with a sledge hammer while a struggle occurred. The suspect then threatened the victims with a handgun before leaving the residence. A small 4door vehicle possibly a Toyota or Nissan white in color with a loud muffler and with damage to the rear driver's side door was seen leaving the area.

If you have information about this incident, you can remain completely anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 217-788-8427 [1-800-397-2288], submitting a tip via the internet or using a cell phone to send a tip [type TIP672 plus your message and send it CRIMES(274637)]. You could get a cash reward of up to $1000.

Remember Crime Stoppers wants your information, not your name.
